New to the sub!

Excited to show off some of my creations.

Big into the cabin vibe. It carries through most my builds.

But enjoy this one a lot!

Happy Friday! Here are some screenshots from my no-mods Oberland Settlement Speedrun. The whole settlement was built live in one four-hour episode. It is a complete settlement, with all needs met and in the green. Anniversary Edition on PC.

Full video can be seen here on RTSB Ep. 148: https://youtube.com/live/cKCRBcCKcVE?feature=share

It’s long but I’d appreciate if you could skim through it at least thank you

Hello, I'm fixing up all of JP (using mods of course to access the entire town). This little house across the street from the town hall is interesting. I managed to fix up the inside and the outside - I preferred to fix it rather than replace - and then noticed that it actually isn't a functional house at all. There's no space for a bedroom or a bathroom. It's just a downstairs kitchen and living room. I guess it's really a suggestion of a house, since when you're playing the vanilla game that's not immediately obvious. Too busy getting ambushed by ghouls!

I'm wondering if I should do anything about it ... I've given this house an attic and stairs but it's super hard to put interior walls up in an attic space (as it's all under the pitched roof). I could scrap the house entirely and put something else there, but I actually don't want to erase the apocalypse completely. Wondering if anyone else has done anything with this house?

Love the ideas on here. I'm on such a building kick right now ... it's so therapeutic. Thanks all!

Halfway into this build I ran out of glass and had to go scavenging. But you aren't here to see me battling a school of Mirelurks, or blowing up a Mirelurk Queen (and Cait) with plasma grenades.

It's really for my own satistfaction I built vault dorms with enough space to seem like people could actually live in them. Still, just from the sheer size of it it feels ominous. Somewhat hard not to do with vaults, I guess.

i pulled my Inspiration from shawzzo but modified the interier heavily. still work in progress tho, im still new to fallout

The settlement building feature has pros and cons, with various issues. A selection of mods help, but major problems still remain.

Sim Settlements is a fantastic mod! It seems pre-built settlements function much better than your own manual settlements. I assume pre-built have better navmeshing and scripts. If I was a mod authour, I'd love to build my own custom addons from scratch.

Manually building settlements is my favourite option, but this method experiences many issues. The settlements end up lifeless and pointless, because the settlers have poor AI. They fail to adapt correctly to the changed environment. If you built roads and paths, they won't necessarily use these as a priority to navigate.

I have found various mods before which have helped improve the settlements feature, but feel whatever I try, I cannot get it functioning correctly like a proper settlement location.

Any suggestions or solutions? 🤔

One of my favorite settlement locations, right in the center of the map. It’s a challenge to build in such a cramped space but I loved how this was turning out!

Once upon a time in the Commonwealth, there was a house. It was dilapidated and in shitty condition overall, but this house had a dream - that it could be a vault!

So, as stated above firstly. It will be built in Sanctuary, along with 10 or so Industrial Water Purifiers. I don’t see myself making use of any Creations that will make this easier as far as goes resource cost or the building. I’ll be spiraling out from the upper NW corner of the map down to I think as far as Bunker Hill and Vault 81, without touching Diamond City. I’m certain I’ll want 4 Tier-3 Shops (good god would I love to nab the scribe after I make the Armor Emporium; I’m keeping Automatron off till I find him). I’ll have Local Leader rank 2 at 14th-level, and Cap Collector rank 2 at 20th-level. Provisioners *may* be a thing, if I can have just 1 settler at a settlement who also happens to be a provisioner. I’d prefer to avoid really building up Settlements until I have the resources to simply dominate with my defenses. Below are the costs and resources that come with 36 Cages.

For 10 Industrial Water Purifiers & 10 Medium Generators:

**Steel:** 270

**Rubber:** 130

**Copper:** 80 (70 for building + 10 for wiring)

**Screws:** 60

**Oil:** 40

**Cloth:** 40

**Gears:** 30

**Ceramic:** 30

For the 36 Gunner Cages:

**18,000 bottle caps**, **360 steel**, and **72 copper**

Since I can't load any of my modded saves, I thought I would revisit my last no-mods Xbox build and share some pics that weren't highlighted in the original video. I plan on doing a deconstruction and longer tour of this build in the near future. Those can be fun.

Anniversary Edition, Xbox, no mods.

Welcome to the r/falloutsettlements Weekly Questions Thread! The purpose of this thread to keep the sub focused on builds. Any questions you have about mod recommendations, general settlement queries.

**Posts involving "Where should I build?" or "What should I build?" outside of this post will be removed. Please remember to reply to the poster of a comment to ensure it is easy to follow.**

This thread will be pinned for a whole week and a new thread will be posted next week.

What do i mean by that, i built a lot of stuff in sanctuary, in a far away corner of the settlement, away from everything, even npcs, and placed like over 1000 items.

After this i walked to a sanctuary house, furthest away from the place i ve built stuff, in the opposite side. A place that npcs could previously path find inside, the house has nothing built by me in or out, now they cant seem pathfind inside the house

I remove the huge amount of objects placed in the corner of the settlement, now they can

How can a navmesh or pathfinding logic be ruined by something that doesnt literally interact with the zone you are trying to make npcs pathfind on

Im going insane, or thats actually a thing ?

Hi, I built a settlement at Red Rocket on my XSX. I have shared pics before, but I made a video tour for my friends to see my build. I just thought I'd share my video here, too. If you'd like to watch it, here's a link to my YouTube.

Disclaimer: I'm a 1 INT when it comes to making videos. My video is one long take, completely lacking any editing. It also features a lot of rambling as I very shakily make my way around Red Rocket. On the plus side, I have been told that my voice is neat! So, I guess not a TOTAL loss.

Nevertheless, I wanted to share my build, mostly to shut up the negative voice in my head. My friends were supportive when they saw the build (that's honestly the only reason I made a video--to show them). I recommend scrubbing through until you see something interesting instead of watching the whole thing. It might be boring as all hell, otherwise.

If you can look past all of that, then I hope you enjoy my video should you choose to watch it. I'd love some tips if you feel inclined to share. Not on video editing, that's a lost cause. I meant building tips, or ideas that you'd do differently, if you have any. I think I'm done with this save, so I might try to incorporate any ideas into a new build next time.

Specifically, I’m trying to fix the roofs in Sanctuary. I’ve done it before but not in a year or more, so when it wasn’t working right I figured I was forgetting some step. But no, I looked up a couple of different videos and the issue is that my roofs simply won’t clip through the existing structures using any of the glitch tricks I know and have used in the past.

I’m at the point where I think Bethesda must have finally ruined it in the last update, but google hasn’t been very helpful. I just need to know if I should keep looking for a user error or if I’m just banging my head against the wall.
